Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Feb 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

The primary mitigation is to upgrade the pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle to version 1.7.4 or later, where the issue has been fixed by implementing generic error messages that do not disclose account existence. Until upgrading is possible, organizations should monitor logs for unusual patterns of 'Forgot password' requests indicative of enumeration attempts. Implement rate limiting and CAPTCHA challenges on password reset endpoints to hinder automated attacks. Additionally, enforce strong password policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the impact of credential-based attacks stemming from enumeration. Security teams should conduct regular audits of user accounts and educate users about phishing risks. Network-level protections such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block suspicious enumeration activity. Finally, ensure incident response plans include steps for handling potential account compromise resulting from enumeration.

Description

pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle provides a Backend UI for Pimcore. In affected versions an error message discloses existing accounts and leads to user enumeration on the target via "Forgot password" function. No generic error message has been implemented. This issue has been addressed in version 1.7.4 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability primarily impacts the confidentiality of user identity information by allowing attackers to confirm valid accounts. This can lead to increased risk of targeted phishing campaigns, brute force attacks, and credential stuffing, potentially resulting in unauthorized access if weak or reused passwords are present. Organizations in sectors with high regulatory scrutiny, such as finance, healthcare, and government, may face compliance and reputational risks if user data is exposed or accounts are compromised. Additionally, attackers could leverage enumerated accounts to launch social engineering attacks against employees or customers. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system availability or integrity, the indirect consequences of successful follow-on attacks could be severe. The lack of authentication or user interaction requirements means attackers can automate enumeration at scale, increasing exposure. European entities relying on Pimcore for content management or digital experience platforms should consider this a significant risk vector.

CWE-204Observable Response Discrepancy (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product provides different responses to incoming requests in a way that reveals internal state information to an unauthorized actor outside of the intended control sphere.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
Implementation
Ensure that error messages only contain minimal details that are useful to the intended audience and no one else. The messages need to strike the balance between being too cryptic (which can confuse users) or being too detailed (which may reveal more than intended).
